Maddie's Civil War Battlefield Trips

"In great deeds something abides. On great
fields something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but
spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls.
And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not
and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great
things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless
field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence
shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into
their souls."
